Cinnamon pear steel cut oat pancakes with banana syrup

Naturally gluten free, these pancakes are so yummy, it feels like you are eating dessert for breakfast! Perfectly ripe Bosc pears & cinnamon give these vegan pancakes a simply addictive flavor.
I am not a fan of pouring sugary stuff all over my pancakes, so I came up with a super simple recipe for banana “syrup” with no added sugar, just the natural sweetness of banana. The Cinnamon pear flavor of the pancakes with the banana syrup… OMG! So good!!

For pancakes:
2 cups steel cut oats
2 ripe Bosc pears cored and cut into big chunks
3.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or nut milk of choice
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp ground flax meal
6 tbsp boiling water
4 tbsp melted coconut oil, or any other oil of choice
3/4 tsp salt
5+ tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
optional: 1 packet (2 scoops) Vega Sport Performance Protein powder in vanilla

For banana “Syrup”:
1/2 ripe banana cut into pieces
3/4 cup water
a small touch of vanilla extract (no more then 1/8 tsp)
